Atelier de pratique artistique | Marbrage ebru

Marbling is a paper coloring technique used to decorate book endpapers. Originating in Asia, the art spread to Europe and particularly Turkey, where it is commonly known as "ebru", meaning "cloud". Today, ebru art is a traditional skill classified as intangible heritage by UNESCO.

AMI invites you to learn more about the steps involved in preparing a marble print, and to reproduce the traditional motifs found in European and Oriental books: pebbled, combed, veiled, figurative hatip motifs…

This will be an opportunity to understand the specificities of paper decoration techniques in Europe, Turkey and Japan, and to present the latest developments in an art craft!
